The 'Wolves found themselves down 2 at halftime (42-40) against the home side, and came out of the locker room with some fire, rolling off 11 straight points to begin the second half.

The Golden Hawks, while not stingy defenders, can put up points in a hurry, and responded in kind with a run of their own to draw things even at 64 heading into the final quarter of play.

Lakehead was in the game until the final 4 minutes, when costly turnovers against Laurier's 1-2-2 half court press effectively sunk the S.S. Thunderwolf.

Some late game heroics by Lakehead would save some hope in the final 20 seconds, but veteran Laurier shooters would seal the game from the free throw line. By contrast Lakehead was it's own worst enemy at the charity stripe, hitting only 15 of 26 attempts. Laurier was 26-of-31.
